Yes, true OO nature of Ruby is nice - everything is an object -
operators, classes, class and instance methods. I'd be interested to
see how Groovy compares in this area. For example, how easy is it to
open up an existing third party class and add/override class methods.
Having done this in
Actually, I'd say sun is endoring jruby more since they have hired
the two main developers to work on it.
Kinda funny since Groovy seems like a better java integration
choice. Now if they would just fix the major bugs and get a 1.0 out.

Personally I don't care what Sun is supporting ;-), I just want to
learn Groovy for one of my projects. I also want to learn Ruby (and
RoR) but that's a different project that I've picked for that.
The whole JRuby thing is a little weird and Sun has officially stated
that they are not
I'm not sure that Groovy is a better java integration choice.
Assuming that both can be made to work equally well when compiling to
bytecode and working with native java 3rd party libs, why not choose a
fairly mature language that has widespread and growing popularity ,
rather than something
I would very much like to, but that project hasn't bubbled up to the
top yet, next on my list is groovy ;-).

Why groovy vs. Jruby, other than the fact that Sun is endorsing
Groovy? We all know that Sun only endorses usable and technically
viable solutions (like J2EE).
OpenLazlo looks pretty cool, especially if it compiles to DHTML.
Haven't used it myself.
